Location Washington, NC, United States
Introduction I am a storyteller, bard, children's librarian, and ghost walk guide. I live in a 110-year old house just outside of Washington, North Carolina -- the first place in America named for George Washington. It's just up the road from our state's oldest town, Bath. Arr! I live in the land of pirates! These quotes sum me up pretty well: "My fathers knew of wind and tide and my blood is maritime" -- Stan Rogers *** and *** "I wonder if one of the most important steps along our journey is the one in which we throw away the map" -- Loreena McKennitt
Interests storytelling, folklore, legends, history, pirates, seashore, ghost walks, costumes, steampunk, libraries, museums, music, maps, travel, words, spirituality, creativity, laughter, red wine, chocolate
Favorite Books Mists of Avalon, Edgar Allan Poe, Harry Potter, The Invention of Hugo Cabret.

Your bow is not broken but you've run out of arrows. How can you fake being a bard?

I have no need to fake it.
